Methinks I am one of the slower foodies on the uptake these days! I just stumbled onto the Cupcake Hero Event at Quirky Cupcake, and co-hosted this time around by Tempered Woman, and was somewhat posessed to make something!!

I tend to make it a habit when I go to any one of my myriad appointments to take a little token of the culinary nature along with me. I mean, who doesn't love goodies appearing in the middle of the day? Seeing my wonderful (and very understanding, all things considered!) physician is on my to-do list for tomorrow morning, and so I was looking for something delicious that I could bring her and the staff, seeing as they now know me by name, on sight, when I walk in the door! Mom's still sick too, so maybe I'll save one of these as a pick-me-up for her when she's feeling better.

The theme for this edition of Cupcake Hero is liquor, and these quaint, light pink cupcakes are touched with a wee bit of Grand Marnier! Strawberry jam also finds a home in these low-fat, whole grain treats, and they are made wonderfully tender with a bit of ricotta cheese. It's like your favourite summer cocktail all in a delicious bite!
